Directed by nationally-recognized Lee Kenneth Richardson (co-founder of the Tony Award-winning regional Crossroads Theatre Company), "The Belly - An American Tale" is the searing portrait of an urban neighborhood known to the locals as The Belly, where young and old alike live in an ever-swirling vortex of fear. Yet for all the violence that befalls those who dare enter their hallowed territory, The Belly is also a surprisingly radiant place, a place where the human heart still pulses with hope. A world premiere by MFA Playwright G. Lloyd Morris.
